INTRODUCTION WorldPort, a facilities—based multinational provider of long distance services and reseller of international long distance services, is a publicly—held corporation, incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) first granted WorldPort Section 214 authority for global international resale services on July 16, 1997 (ITC— 97—257—AL) and subsequently granted WorldPort Section 214 authority for global facilities— based and global resale services on September 12, 1997 (ITC—97—436). By this application, WorldPort seeks FCC approval of the transfer of a controlling interest in WorldPort to Heico.

The transaction described in the preceding paragraph has changed WorldPort‘s ownership structure, but will have no immediate affect WorldPort‘s operations. Thus, this transfer will not create confusion or inconvenience for WorldPort‘s existing customers, nor will it otherwise adversely affect WorldPort‘s operations. WorldPort intends to continue to obtain capacity from facilities—based carriers currently authorized to provide international services between the United States and foreign points. Through its new ownership structure, as under its old structure, WorldPort plans to compete with other carriers providing international switched service to 2

foreign points by reselling the »rvices over the e «cisti1 3 fac lities of A] &T, MCI, J.S. j >rint and other authorized U.S. inter ation i carr.ers.
